Recipes

Currently on the 2ww and going a bit mad so I thought I'd kill some time productively. Here are some recipes that have gone round my toddler group and I have tried them all. They are for various ages but can be adapted. Portions depend on your baby's age, I started with the annabel karmel ice cube tray and then moved up in size.

Puree (Red meat didn't agree with my DS until he was about 9 or 10 months, it gave him a really sore tummy so you might want to be careful with this one)

Hope you might enjoy some of these. By the way I know there's a million baby cook books out there but I have the Lorraine Kelly one, (it's called baby and toddler eating plan) it's quite old but has some really good recipes, I got mine from the library and then bought it on ebay as there was so much to try. Happy cooking x
